Freedomain Posted September 7, 2018 Posted September 7, 2018 Question 1: [2:22] – “In order to prove UPB you set up imaginary scenarios where certain behaviors are moral, such as rape, murder, theft and so on. For example, if two people are in a room and theft is moral then both people need to be continually trying to steal from each other in order to act morally. Therefore, it’s impossible to be moral and also constantly trying to steal because the situation becomes completely unworkable as everyone is always stealing from everyone else. What I want to know is how does UPB prove a situation is immoral where, for example, it is moral to attempt to rape/steal/commit fraud but only on occasions? Surely in this situation both parties can always be acting morally so long as they are only trying to commit the act every now and then.”Question 2: [16:40] – “My early 20's started with a rough turn of events based on my poor decisions. Overcoming addiction, arrests, poor relationship choices, which resulted in a baby who is now 7. The father is in and out of prison to whom she is unaware of. I cleaned up 8 years ago (drug court) and married a wonderful man who I have been with for 6 years. We started with virtually nothing and are now successful in our skilled trades. My question is I recently accepted a new role within my company that requires about 75% travel. I would like to give my husband his own child but am not sure I want more children. My success and financial health and security is very important to me. Being in my 30's I know I don't have forever to decide. Will I regret and have a husband who has contempt for not sharing a child with him even though he has adopted my daughter as his own. How do I weigh my values of family over my career? Also, at what time is the right time to explain to our daughter her true biological beginning without instilling insecurities or deception?"Question 3: [2:01:47] – “I've been investigating into the nature of the current political dynamic of universities and various social institutions in the contemporary west. When you mentioned it on your show with Tom Woods, I gained interest in the thesis you wrote in college about the relationship between metaphysics and politics. From the reading, and research I've conducted, I've come to the conclusion that Friedrich Nietzsche has more of an influence on the implementation of progressive policies (economic, and political) than Karl Marx. Could the arbitrary and deconstructionist nature of Nietzschean philosophy have more of an impact on the revolutionary and materialist tendencies that Marxism employs? Or rather do they complement each other on a purely ideological basis?”Question 4: [2:43:52] – “I have come across a particular topic about how fines are given to different economic classes. I have had peers explain how fair it would be if a millionaire was speeding and a low-income person was speeding and they each got a ticket the millionaire should be fined more due to his money. Finland is an example of a country that implements this fine policy. My peers explain to me that this policy is to make crimes such as speeding and other illegal acts more punishing for the wealthy. I feel as if this still does not justify this policy to be in place. I feel that all laws should be enforced equally among all people and that punishing the wealthy for being wealthy doesn't seem right to me.”Question 5: [2:57:55] – “During a recent show you asked a caller ‘was there no one else out there’ regarding his choice to marry someone who had a child via rape. Why do you feel this way? As a woman that had that situation, I felt it was an over generalized statement that was unwarranted. Women in my situation should know they have other options as well. Do you think women can restore their sexual market value after being raped?”Your support is essential to Freedomain Radio, which is 100% funded by viewers like you.
